About

We understand the emerging blockchain space holistically – ranging from the technology to its implications on business and society – and use our collective know-how to launch ventures and initiatives and deliver high impact projects.

Snapshots from our Work

The first STO milestone is German

A German company has won the race to issue a fully regulated security token, at least in Europe. Despite others having claimed to have “tokenized” something in the past, this Bitbond issue is a radical shift in the STO narrative so far.

Blockchain in Automotive

The tremendous hype surrounding Distributed-Ledger-Technologies (DLT) such as blockchain
tends to thinly veil that they are still immature within a market that is just emerging.
The majority of executives are still looking for clear concepts for success and a detailed
understanding of the relevance and value of applications.

In-depth DLT assessment tool that combines investor-level evaluation criteria to assess and structure DLT projects.
The concept has been conceived in 2017 when Initial Coin Offerings emerged as a new form of funding and is since then continuously updated and expanded

Extended Network

Our core team has a great network in the blockchain space. We maintain excellent relationships to people from all areas of the blockchain industry: developers, lawyers, corporate leaders, founders, investors, analysts, technology providers, thought leaders and many more. When it comes to complex projects, we leverage our network to bring the right people on board conveniently.

What We Do

Blockchain Venture Building

We build commercial blockchain ventures. In the process, we identify attractive market opportunities, prototype the service, the cryptoeconomic model, and handle the implementation

DLT Use Case Development

Private and consortial blockchains can be interesting solutions in corporate environments. For instance in supply chain management, IoT projects, or machine-to-machine scenarios. We develop and implement solutions that drive efficiency.

Investment

We invest in digital assets. We also advise selected funds and going forward we are building a Venture Fund to bring together our expertise in VC and DLT with our direct access to founders and makers. As reputable thought leaders in this field we support high-potential layer-1 protocols that develop competitive use-cases for real-life applications.

Knowledge Transfer

Many organizations are just beginning to explore blockchain and the distributed economy. We create bespoke learning experiences – from workshops to e-learning – that bring your teams up to speed. Besides technology, our holistic approach emphasizes the importance of system design, cryptoeconomics and business models.

Token-based System Design

Public blockchain networks need to be carefully designed from the start. The underlying token and cryptoeconomic model must align incentives between ecosystem participants and drive network effects. In conjunction with our academic partners, we develop token-based systems, using scientific modelling techniques.

Public Speaking

We are experienced public speakers. If you’re searching for an expert to speak at your conference or internal event, look no further. Our promise: we focus on great content that adds value. Our talks aren’t ads but nuanced, bespoke answers to your most pressing questions.
